ELON MUSK: The only way to reach 1,000 terawatts of AI power is a mass driver on the Moon.
"In order to get to 1,000x from a terawatt per year. The only way that we can really achieve that is on the moon with a mass driver, essentially where you do local production of photovoltaics and radiators on the moon, maybe you bring the chips from Earth, or you could conceivably make the chips on the moon, and but you need most of the mass to be made on the moon, so you don't have to transport it to the moon from Earth, and then because the moon has no atmosphere and only 1/6 Earth's gravity, you can accelerate the AI satellites into deep space without a rocket, so you can basically shoot them into space using an electromagnetic gun, like a, like a rail gun type. I mean, just, it's basically a linear electric motor, as a way to think about it."

SEE IT ☄️: A driver in Brentwood, Tennessee, was able to capture the moment a meteor streaked across the night sky Sunday night, as it was 16 times brighter than Venus. The fireball was visible from several other states in the U.S.
A woman in Maui got an unexpected laugh on her drive home after spotting a man waiting at a traffic light in a beach chair attached to a motorized skateboard. 🤣
Nobel Prize physicist James Peebles says we must admit a hard truth: Dark matter and dark energy are just placeholders for our ignorance.
95% of the universe remains completely unknown to us.
I’m sick of reading stock astrology.
It’s time to get back to launching the rockets, putting internet in the sky, and projecting free speech down on the world.
ELON MUSK: Humanity must expand into space to fully harness the sun’s energy.
"When you look at how much energy Earth is actually using for civilization, we're only right now using, call it roughly 1% of the potential energy of Earth. And if we wanted to use even a millionth of the sun's energy, that would be roughly a million times more energy than civilization currently uses. The only way to access that energy, the energy of the sun is to extend beyond Earth. Earth is really a tiny, tiny dust Mote in a vast darkness.
The sun is 99.8% of all mass in the solar system, so you have to expand beyond the tiny dust mode that is earth to make any significant dent in using the sun's energy like says, you'd have to expand roughly a million times just to get to 1,000,000th of our sun's energy, and then going beyond that, exploring extending to the Galaxy.
So the the next step beyond Earth data centers is our Earth orbital data centers, and we'll be launching with SpaceX orbital data centers at the 100 to 200 gigawatt per year level, not cumulative, I mean, per year. And ultimately, we see a path to maybe launching as much as a terawatt per year of compute from Earth."
